Weren't you a fetus once?
Its been a couple of weeks since I've have written a blog. Been busy I guess, that's always a good excuse. My wife will be 21 weeks pregnant with twins tomorrow, and having suffered a triplet loss last year we are obviously biting nails until these baby's are viable. I am not the type to post my misery for others to see, and I'm certainly not looking for pity. The reason that I tell is because through my own experiences, I have switched from pro-choice to pro-life. You can say "well, look at what this guy has been through, of course he is pro-life". Trust me I am no die hard conservative. Its just that I realized that when people are pro-choice, its really about a lack of experience in dealing with preserving life. The arguments I hear just don't stand up. There's the old "Pro-lifers are infringing on peoples right to choose". Rape is a choice, a mother murdering her own 2 year old baby is a choice. So is it really about choice? Choice is wonderful, until your choices infringe on someone else's freedom. Then there is "its her body, you cant tell her what to do with it". To people that believe this, you need to see an ultrasound. I can assure you it is not her body at issue. There are two separate body's, one just happens to live inside the others. The one inside has all body parts in just a matter of weeks. Including a brain, pumping heart(6 weeks) and every other part you or I have. All of the arguments just don't hold ground. A lot of people are pro-choice because they think it is the intelligent people who are pro-choice. After all the liberals are more educated. Doctors perform abortions, and who is more intellegent than a doctor?
People kill these baby's every day. Each and every one is wanted by someone. If you know someone who has had an abortion, ask them if they regret it. Just ask Norma McCorvey, Norma was Jane Roe in Roe vs. Wade in 1973. Norma now leads an anti-abortion organization. Before you brush it all off and stick to being pro-choice. Ask you self, what is murder.? If you say that killing a two year old toddler is murder, but abortion is not. Then you are saying that birth is where life begins. And if you think birth is where life begins, then you need a biology lesson. Not from a church, I'm not arguing from any religious prospective. I mean a science biology lesson. Life does not start at birth. A mother taking care of a baby in her womb is no different than a mother taking care of her toddler in her house. Except the ice cream and pickle part. By the way, my twins that are expected in November are kicking up a storm every night now. If you don't think they are people yet, you haven't felt my wife's belly. I cant wait to meet them.
The issue of abortion can get very complicated. Trust me, I don't believe its all black and white. It can get very complicated in high risk multiple pregnancies. To see what I mean, check out this web page - http://hygeia.org/poems20.htm
I guess what made me pro-choice before was really a lack of thought and understanding of the subject. I always want the most freedom that a person can have, and the most choice to do what I want. We should have the right to be free in every way, until it hurts another human. Nobody would argue that murder should be legal. Its absurd. Murder is taking someones life. There are however, people that don't know what defines life.
